“Mike Tomlin Unveils Shocking Truth Behind Russell Wilson’s Practice Absence”

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin gave some insight in to why star quarterback Russell Wilson missed Thursday’s practice as the team is in training camp. Tomlin said that the Steelers signal-caller “woke up with a tight calf” and will be considered “day-to-day” according to Dan Graziano of ESPN

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says QB Russell Wilson “woke up with a tight calf” today and he held him out of practice for that reason. Calls him day-to-day,” Graziano wrote on his X, formerly Twitter, page.

Wilson is looking to start clean with another team after a disappointing stint with the Denver Broncos for the past two seasons after an incredible run with the Seattle Seahawks in the 10 years prior. With that, the other Steelers quarterback in Justin Fields, the former first round pick on the Chicago Bears, will take starting quarterback reps and has already impressed Thursday

In a video shot by a fan, the young Pittsburgh quarterback was seen launching an eye-opening pass down the field which had people shocked since most know him for his outstanding ability to run the ball. Last season with the Bears, Fields threw for 2,562 yards, 16 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, but looks to start anew with a different team in his first season with the Steelers, like Wilson.
